navigatron,

This article is excellent. Very clear and concise. It distills the extreme technicals of radio into something even I can understand, and gives the impacts of each of these features. 10/10

navigatron,

When dealing with children, the “oreo cookie” method works well - start with something nice, offer a “suggestion for improvement”, and then finish with something nice as well.

You’ll want to submit the politically correct version through official channels for traceability. After it’s submitted there, you can give a copy over slack. Don’t let anyone make any claims about what you supposedly said over slack dm. Leave a paper trail.

You’ve already been PIPed, so they have reason to look at you. Play nice and check the boxes; I would do the feedback even if the submission is entirely “yeah it was fine” level bs.

All of the above is playing it safe. Offer to provide additional feedback / “discussion” over a voice call as well, and ask what they’re looking for. If they’re building a case against your former manager, you can be honest.

If they just want “general” feedback, or they want it over text (“no time for a call”), or there are multiple people in the room, or the call is being recorded, then fall back to the politically correct version you already submitted.

Your nuclear button is to claim the PIP was retaliation for (something; you can make this up, just make it realistic), but you don’t press that button unless you’re about to be fired. It makes things extremely complicated.

I really hate office politics, but half of being promoted is knowing how to play this stupid game :(

navigatron,

Adding - triple check / proofread / rephrase the ai output. Assume the words may be used against you. If your manager is close with whomever reads the feedback, they could ask for “evidence” of any claims. You either need strong evidence, or to avoid any concrete claims. More vague more better / more defensible.

navigatron,

Is this news? It’s wintertime. It’s cold outside. I don’t get it

navigatron,

I walked along the sand dunes of the Sahara desert for 40 days and 40 nights with nothing but a pack of newports and a fifth of Henny. I really do this shit.

navigatron,

I don’t do anything interesting. I’ve got the ten workspaces, and win+p to start stuff.

The only interesting thing is win+PrintScrn, which takes a screenshot to /tmp, and then opens it in pinta to crop.

Actually I also have win+z bound to turning off the laptop screen. That’s all I can remember

navigatron,

Removing caulk sucks.

The best tool for the job is a razor blade / utility knife, and a pack of replacement blades. Blades are dirt cheap, don’t be afraid to bend them / abuse them.

My world has an issue with people taking freely accessible resources for not their intended purpose and wasting them, what kind of policy changes might solve this?

For context, I have a science-fantasy world with intelligent, non-anthro animals trying to live in peace with each other. A major problem is of course what the carnivores eat, and their solution is something called Dietary Enzyme Supplements, which carnivores take in order to supply artificial, carefully engineered digestive...

navigatron,

A rationing system doesn’t have to be so restrictive.

You can purchase NyQuil just about anywhere, but only a small amount at a time.

Of course you could still go to multiple stores, or go back to the same store day after day, but all this slows down the loss rate such that free access is still sustainable.

Fished new wire for the first time!

I posted on here the other day about some suspicious 240v cable and followed the recommendations to replace it. I was already leaning that way but was kind of hoping to be told I was overthinking it. But you all confirmed what I thought. I ran close to 25’ of 10/2 cable from the second story to the basement. Nothing is wired...

navigatron,

Woohoo! Saw your previous post, I’m glad it’s going well! Keep us updated

The Year Ahead in Movies (gizmodo.com)

The movies of 2024 bring with them more uncertainty than we’ve seen in a very long time. After over a decade of superhero and franchise dominance, 2023 broke the mold. Of the top 10 highest-grossing films of the year, only half were sequels, and one of those, Avatar: The Way of Water, was a carryover from the year before....

navigatron,

This barely counts as an article, smells like an AI, and you can’t read more than a sentence at a time without closing an ad or a popup

navigatron,

I love Estonia. It’s a beautiful country with a rich history and a fascinating relationship to technology in government. Their ID system / voting system is worth studying.

I’m just not sure about having sardines with my vodka

navigatron,

It is not too hard and you can definitely do it! It’s like a puzzle - you will get stuck at times, but if you keep going then you’ll get there.

APK files are just zip files, so you can unzip it to see its contents. From there, a java de-compiler get you a version of the source code. It will have random variable names and no comments, so it will take some digging to find and reverse the api layer.

Or, who knows, you could get lucky and find an openapi spec file and auth.txt. Worse apps have been developed.

navigatron,

Make sure to use the “important” modifier, the “Yes Really” modifier, and adjust character by character until you realize you’re missing yet another modifier 🙃

navigatron,

Hey! Best of luck, I’m actually going down the same road at the moment :)

I would build it yourself - it’s more fun, and is cheaper than renting over a shorter-than-you-would-think time period.

The first thing to know is whether or not you can port-forward / if your isp has you behind nat.

Exposing virtual disks is relatively straightforward, or even just storage quotas on a single disk. I’m about to jump into the wide world of zfs; I need to glue together 4+ disks into a single storage array.

If you want everyone to have a separate VM, you’ll need some kind of hypervisor underneath. Could you grant everyone a user account in a single system, and use docker for separation?

It sounds like the others will be connecting remotely - make sure you use ssh keys (not passwords) and disable root over ssh. Once ssh is exposed to the internet, you’ll see a lot of failed login attempts

navigatron,

JavaScript / TypeScript are famously free-form, but a number of styles (and style-enforcing tools) have emerged.

“Prettier” is the most recent. It actually parses your code into an AST and then re-prints it according to its style.

“ESLint” is the most widespread; it is more of a framework into which rules can be plugged.

I use “XO”, which is essentially a custom eslint ruleset with a few other nice things tacked on.

The best part of eslint/xo is the “—fix” command, which can auto-fix most mistakes.

This is probably a ridiculous question, but I usually stream from my laptop to my LG tv or my phone to any other tv, and I find that using my VPN keeps the casting output option from working. Like in Popcorntime, the Watch Now doesn’t show my tv, only the laptop app or VLC. On my daughter’s fire stick I can’t even cast to...

navigatron,

The VPN catches all network traffic and puts it far away - you can’t be on vpn and see local network resources (casting targets) at the same time.

If your vpn has an app, check your settings for something like “local network access”.

Otherwise, start reading about split-tunnels and/or default gateways

navigatron,

The American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires stricter fuel efficiency standards for smaller cars, on an exponential curve. As a result, vehicles get more expensive as they get smaller. Manufacturers are making their previous designs larger to avoid costs / be able to sell at a lower price. Consumers care more about purchase price than mpg. The end result is a trend towards larger vehicles.

The solution is to either relax requirements on smaller vehicles, or strengthen requirements on larger vehicles - but this could affect “working” vehicles, like semi rigs and concrete mixers, which would lead to other economic issues.

navigatron,

The game of Mao begins now.

Even more unusual variants include […] a game which, instead of allowing voting on rules, splits into two sub-games, one with the rule, and one without it.

This sounds insane and delightful

Polycentric is an Open-source distributed social network - Similar in some ways to Nostr (beehaw.org)

I’ve not done an in-depth look at this network but reading through their documentation shows it has a lot of similarity to the basics of the Nostr protocol and network. There is just not as much information available on the Polycentric site as there is already for Nostr. Nostr is also censorship resistant, with distributed...

navigatron,

I gave their protocol page a look; it’s extremely in-depth. I have no idea what a vector clock is but now I get to learn. I like how they explain why blockchain isn’t a good fit.

I’m a touch worried about the extensability of the protocol, but I haven’t given it a deep read yet. I very much appreciate the share!

navigatron,

Wanna come configure optimus for me?

navigatron,

At EoL, corporate security tells the IT department to uninstall it.

Windows works great because MS tapes it back together slightly faster than it falls apart.

When EoL hits, those devices are either trashed, firewalled into oblivion, or assimilated into the kube.

navigatron,

This is gorgeous. This is a work of art. I spent like 15 minutes looking at all the buttons

navigatron,

Amen. Like, were the homeless not already in peril? Alaska has, like, bears n shit.
